    Ok, I've had this Carrera Banshee Mountain Bike bike since mid October. And all it has done is broke. It's a piece of garbage. Never buy it. In my opinion its the worste trusted bike ever, since mid october I have been back to halfors 17 times, and only twice was my fault.

    Solid bike. The Carrera Banshee has handled my weight (heavier than the average biker) very well. Others have failed me over the years.

    I have always been a bit weary of Halfords own brand products, this however has been a really nice surprise.

    I was looking to upgrade from from my Hardtail XC as I was starting to get into free-riding. I originally planned on getting a Kona Coiler or similar, but after a chance visit to a halfords store, I saw the Carrera Banshee Mountain Bike. I double taked as I read through the spec, and couldn't believe that I could pick this up brand new for £499. Not believing what I was seeing, I ...

    Had the Carrera Banshee Mountain Bike since august 08 and cant knock the bike. Very well made, and it does look good. Had the money but actually chose it over the orange colour Kona. very well spec'd. Feels a bit heavy

    Ive had this bike for less than a month but it already feels like the bike Ive had since I was a kid. It performs on both the road and the roots and I havent felt like Im out of my depth once. My last bike was an Orange downhill machine but i really would have this over it 9 times out of 10. I have put a fox clicker rear shock on it (personal preference) and a set of DH forks and it handles just as well as it did out of the box.

    With bikes in this price range I am usually a little nervous of r ...

    Purchased a 2008 Carrera Banshee from Halfords on Boxing Day for just under £400.00 (RRP £600:00). For the money specification is really good. Have been out doing some hard riding with my mate who's got a £1,000:00 + Specialised & would say mine performed better. Overall really satisfied & would highly reccomend.

    Bought the Banshee and fell in love with it. Fine bike at a good price. great suspension and brakes takes quite a hammering and still nothing broken.

    Got this bike in 2003 and paid half the ticket price as it was easter sale (bargin). At the time didnt have well paid job so never could afford to service it. I did clean it and lube the bad boy up all the time but that was it. I have had so many good road and off road rides on this. It has never gone wrong apart from the peddles which are cheap and easy to mess up if you like to take air but apart from that love it. I now have a better job and earn good money so can afford most top of the ...

    I think this bike is amazing. the suspension is great and the gears are too. its price is great and it is a very good bike. it is so light and i can pull very long wheelies on it and i couldn't on my old bike. i have broke the drop out plate twice
